| Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this story. Thank you for coming forward with your story about Milo. I know it was probably hard for you to do.

| I'm sorry about Milo Lacy is so stubborn and fast..I never trust her off leash. She has gotten away from me a couple times before when she was younger and I was lucky to have caught her. The thread that you saw earlier was quite a complicated situation...there was a lot more behind that than what you saw in that one thread. I hope you stick around and post more...welcome to YT!

| One of our yorkies is an ex mill dog. He was free only a month when we adopted him. He was scared and somewhat fearful of things because he lived in a damn box. Came out of a mill with four hundred plus dogs if you can even imagine. He has had to learn everything that a puppy would learn as time went by. He has come a long way but it has taken alot of time and patience. My reward is looking over at him right now and he's curled up in his snuggle bed snoring away. Because of how they have to try to survive mill dogs will almost always carry some type of behavioral problems which they will never get over. It fades away somewhat but a situation can bring it back. He is so bonded with me that he runs through the house to find me just to know I'm there. It's kinda sad. God willing my husband and I will adopt another mill dog someday. For me it's been one of the most rewarding things I've done. The woman you got him from should have been up front and honest so you would have had an idea what you were in for. I'm sorry for what you have been through. RIP Milo |

You had no way of knowing about Milo when you adopted him, but the lady who sold him did and shame on her. Rehoming doesn't always solve the problem, as much as rescue groups and then adopted after they have been socialized. Warmly, Deborah

| I am so sorry for your loss. And I'm very happy that people are being so considerate of Milo's special needs and your situation. If I understand you correctly, you say that perhaps Milo might still have been with us if you would have given him up sooner. If you feel that way, who knows? Maybe that's true. But let me add this.... If you hadn't taken Milo in even after figuring out that he had special needs (or returned him), then someone less caring would have ended up with him. Someone with no patience who would have either abused him, dumped him, or pawned him off on someone else equally as unequipped to handle him. Yes, it's a tragedy, but Milo had a great end of him life being loved. You made the best decisions that you were equipped to make at that time. Thank you for giving Milo a great home....

| So sorry to hear what happened to you and to milo. I took in a girl years ago, she was not from a puppy mill but one a breeder had taken away from the owners.. I light weight latex toys that she was afraid of. she settled in very good with our love and attention.. but then we moved a few years later.. she had a nervous breakdown. Yes a nervous breakdown.. must have thought we were leaving her behind or just the move upset her.. her breakdown was so bad, she almost died.. the vet and myself worked on her for two hours.. she was then on nerve pills twice a day for 5 years. But she lived a very long life and the last of her life she refused the nerve pills.. (((((Hug to you)))) for the time you took for Milo and giving him a home. |

| My Condolences I'm so sorry to hear about little Milo. It sounds like you loved him the way he should have been loved from the beginning. The lady who sold him set him up for failure by not being forward about his terrible past. No one can criticize you for this unfortunate outcome because you loved him despite his issues. There aren't a lot of people who would be willing to do that. I applaud your efforts and big heart.
